Dufty announced at a fundraiser -- his campaign for mayor, still in its early days, has raised $50,000 so far -- that he's in a new relationship with local realtor Pat Patricelli.

"I was sweeping up broken glass outside Moby at 5:30 in the morning when he walked by with his dog, Luna," Dufty told the Bay Area Reporter. "He said he was impressed at seeing his supervisor cleaning the streets. I told him I was also impressed."

According to Patricelli's professional bio, he's a "top producer," yet flexible, having personally been both a buyer and seller.

The relationship revelation is interesting in light of Dufty's recent vote on the board against extending more protections to renters who don't live in rent-controlled apartments, such as condos built after 1979.
